It is located in a large motion capture studio in the National Animation Park in Binhai New Area, Tianjin
Ma Xinqi, a motion cap actor dressed in specific gear, is performing at the center
He was surrounded by dozens of high-definition infrared cameras
meanwhile
On a computer in the shed
A virtual character doing the same thing jumps into shape

Motion capture actor Ma Xinqi prepares to perform in a motion capture studio (photo taken on April 23).
When motion capture actor Ma Xinqi was doing actions in the motion capture studio, a virtual character doing the same action was generated in real time on the computer (taken on April 23).
This is the action digital twin
Utilizes optical motion capture technology
Infrared cameras in the studio capture specific markings on the actors' bodies
The character's trajectory is calculated at a rate of milliseconds
The data is then transferred to a computer for rendering
Synchronize the movements of virtual characters

Among the new occupations announced by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security in recent years
Digital Twin Application Technicians are among them
"Post-85" Cui Shengji is a digital twin application technician
He has been working with digital technology for almost a decade
Today, a studio has been established
It is mainly built through digital twin technology in the application scenarios of film and television animation, immersive cultural tourism, life sciences and other fields
The team members are in charge of the motion capture actors who are responsible for the early action generation
There are also motion capturers who are responsible for collecting data, and data retouchers who refine and process data in the later stage
The implementation of a digital twin project often requires the collaboration of members

Not long ago, Cui Shengji's team cooperated with the Tianjin Binhai New Area Taijiquan Association
A set of Tai Chi movement data has been retained
"Through digital twin technology, these intangible cultural heritage can be preserved permanently. ”
In his opinion
Digital twins extend reality
Able to assist people in solving problems more efficiently
The future is promising
